A little about me and my family:

My husband Brian and I met 9 years ago and got married at a beautiful destination wedding in Mexico 5 years ago. 2024 was an extra special year for our family as we welcomed our first child, Marcus, in March. Becoming parents was truly the highlight of our year.


We also have a 3 year old Golden Retriever named Holly, she's our special girl.

In our life before Marcus, we spent our time traveling the world together, going mostly to exotic islands, from Polynesia and Greece, to Thailand, the Maldives and many more. Last year we got to slow down, spend more time on Lake Norman, and savor life's sweet moments. In my spare time I do enjoy long walks to the park with my family, shopping, and cheering on the Buffalo Bills!
Last year's baby and traveling highlights:
In May we bought our first boat and took Marcus out on Lake Norman. He is quickly becoming a professional floater.


We spent Memorial Day Weekend in Oak Island, NC. Marcus loved his first beach trip!

We spent more time on the lake this summer!

In September Marcus watched his first Bills game & went to the Greek Festival in Charlotte!

In October I went on a girls trip to Cherry Grove, SC, but Marcus tagged along too!

In December, we went on our first big trip since 2023. We went to the Bahamas to check out Baha Mar. We stayed at the Grand Hyatt, which I highly recommend! Our little guy took his first big airplane ride. He was a fan, so I'm sure this is just the beginning of traveling with the little man!


In 2025, we are looking forward to more island adventures. We are taking our first big trip without baby Marcus to Hawaii - to Maui & Lanai. We will see what the rest of the year will bring!
